Blue chips on July 10 remained the biggest problem for investors as they had a mixed performance and were unable to drive the market up.
Both indices cut down their falls compared to the previous day.
On the Hochiminh Stock Exchange, the VN Index lost 0.17 percent to close at 622.10 points while the HNX Index on the Hanoi Stock Exchange dropped 0.24 percent to 87.92 points.
Market liquidity remained high, but decreased by one-fifth to 3.44 trillion VND (159 million USD). A total of 196 million shares were traded.
Despite the drop, the market showed some improvements. Compared to the previous session, there were 161 gainers and 229 decliners, more advancing codes and less losing ones.
Petrol and bank shares were the major factor as most declined or stayed flat, preventing the market from rising.
Some other large-cap shares also contributed to the fall of the market. FLC Group (FLC) fell by 1.16 percent, Hoa Sen Group (HSG) was down 1.38 percent while Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (VNM) and Ma San Group (MSN) remained unchanged.
HAI Agrochem Joint Stock Company (HAI) on the southern bourse and KLF Joint Venture Global Investment JSC (KLF) on the northern bourse were the most active codes with 9.2 and 4.5 million shares traded, respectively.
On July 14 and 17, the Hanoi Stock Exchange will list two new codes on the northern market. The newcomers are Petrovietnam Fertilisers and Chemicals Joint Stock Company and Southern Books and Education Equipment Joint Stock Company, which are listed as PSW and SMN.-VNA
